Go Colby, go!

Just a quick update today. Colby is doing well. YESSSSSS !!!!!!!! I love it when things progress with him. He took his first feeding last night very well and even took 1.3cc of mild from a bottle !! That's the first thing he's swallowed thus far and he's over 2 months old !! Everything else has been via a tube in his belly. The nurse said that as of last night, all was going well and he was tolerating the feeds well. He continues to hover just below 4 pounds. Maybe we'll break the 4 pound mark over the weekend.

I didn't have any new pictures. I always try to be light hearted about things so I figured this picture would bring a laugh. After Avery passed, Tracey and I needed a night away from everything so we went to Stockbridge, Mass. While there we visited a shaker village. They had this fake cow where you could try "milking" the thing. Well, given that Colby's now back on milk, I figured what the heck! It's the only milk-related picture I could find!

Anyway, I've got to get on the road and start my day. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend !

About Me

This story is written from a dad's perspective. We went through infertility for 4 years before we found out we were pregnant with twins in March of 2007. Life dealt us an unexpected hand when Colby and Avery came 3 ½ months early due to PROM of twin A. I started this blog to keep friends and family up to speed on the happenings during our NICU experience. However I’ve been amazed at the interest and support that has come from family, friends and complete strangers. I am moved by the connection that people feel toward our situation and to hear the stories of how our story has in some way helped others through difficult times.
Thank you all for your support and compassion during our journey. I hope one day for Colby to be able to read this and know the impact he’s had and the amount of people he had supporting him.
